Mistake into officialdom

Chapter 1171 Special Offer

Saito Junichi felt that he should go to Kikawa in person and talk about indium with Zhu Daidong in person. 〖 It has been several days since the note submitted by this time, but this time [China] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not give a clear answer. [Japan] The Embassy in China proposed to negotiate several times, but [China] did not respond positively.

The attitude of the country is completely different from that of the previous country. Of course, he has a keen sense of something. He believes that the country should have an attitude, at least acquiesced to the behavior of Kigawa. If you want to change anything, I'm afraid you have to make an article from the Kagawa side.

From Zhang Tianrui's mouth, Saito Junichi knew that Zhu Daidong was a difficult person to deal with. He was indifferent to the discovery of indium ore in South Korea. During this period, several enterprises tried to contact Kikawa and wanted to buy indium at the original price, but Kikawa ignored it at all. They thought that the [day] enterprise was too insincere, which led to the arrangement of the [day] enterprise's reception, which was only held in the canteen of the municipal government.

It is very rare to entertain foreign entrepreneurs in the canteen of the municipal government, which is very rare in the mainland, and the banquet is not as famous wine in China. It is just a kind of local wine of Muchuan winery. Such behavior is also rare. In other places, absolutely no one dared to do this, but Kikawa did it, and it left a deep impression on the people in the enterprise afterwards.

For Saito Junichi's visit, Zhu Daidong did not arrange a special place to meet him. He asked Saito Jun to take him to his office all the time, and the two held a meeting. Zhu Daidong appointed Wu Chengke to make a record. Such talks will not go very well. If it must be put in the Ying Hotel, it will only waste the time and energy of both sides.

"Mayor Zhu, you look much younger than I thought. It is said that you are the youngest senior leading cadre in Gunan Province. I think you should be one of the youngest cadres in the whole country. Junichi Saito is well sto-in-depth about the official rules of the country, and in his capacity... saying such words, the officials of the country will have a greater sense of achievement.

"Mr. Saito, you speak Chinese very well. I don't know if it's an investment or an inspection when I come to Muchuan this time? Zhu Daidong said lightly.

"It's neither an investment... nor an investigation. I just want to talk about a business with Kikawa." Saito Junyi said that Zhu Daidong behaved very calmly. General officials in the country would involuntarily smile when they heard his face-to-face praise, but Zhu Daidong still showed a faint disgust on his face according to his observation.

"Business? I'm a government official. I'm afraid it's not my turn to talk to me about business, right? Zhu Daidong said that he knew the intention of Saito Junichi when he was still in Beijing. After learning that Saito Junichi contacted Wu Chengke, he immediately called Cai Bingying and asked about Saito Junichi's identity.

Cai Bingying told him that Saito Junichi came from the national reserve base of Benji City County. His apparent identity was a senior manager of a high-tech enterprise... His actual identity was likely to be a government official. With these materials, Zhu Daidong is more like a fish in water when dealing with Saito Junichi.

"Other businesses may not come to you... But if I want to buy some metals from the Kikawa smelter, I have to trouble Mayor Zhu. Mayor Zhu, please take good care of him!" As soon as Saito Jun stood up, he gave Zhu Daidong a 90-degree bow.

"You bought indium from the Muchuan smelter to create profits for us. Why do you bother me? Well, I'll call Du Zhongde, the director of Muchuan Smelter, and ask you to receive you. Zhu Daidong was about to get the phone. Wu Chengke next to him quickly handed over his mobile phone, "No, no, Mayor Zhu... It's useless to find Du Zhongde. It's up to you to decide this matter." Jun Saito shook his hands and said.

"Zito, you are a [Zhong] Guotong, don't you know that the government and enterprises of [Zhong] have been separated for many years?" Zhu Daidong's face darkened and he said angrily.

"But who doesn't know... Well... I hope Mayor Zhu can call Director Du and give me a preferential price." Saito Jun sighed and said.

To some extent, [China] officials can be called politicians. They say one thing in their mouths and do one thing behind their backs. They never do things that have no interest. 〖 In ancient times, there was a saying that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and now there is also a popular saying: being an official is not for money, and I won't come.

"Mr. Saito, I heard that South Korea has found a rich indium ore, and you [Japan] were going to jointly develop with South Korea. Why did you come to Muchuan to buy indium?" Zhu Daidong pretended to have just remembered this.

"In fact, we have cooperated with Muchuan Smelter for many years. No matter how cheap indium is in South Korea, our principle of doing business is that I am more expensive than strangers than strangers." Saito's eyes lit up. He was worried that he didn't know how to pass the news to Zhu Daidong. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to ask this question.

Zhu Daidong heard a tinnitus. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be happy to hear the fluttering words of Junichi Saito. Thank you, Mr. Saito, for your strong support to our Kikawa Smelter. Zhu Daidong finally showed a smile on his face, but he only showed courtesy to Junichi Saito, not agreeing with his words.

For the breadth and depth of the Chinese characters, Saito Junichi was obviously a little short. When he heard Zhu Daidong say this, he thought that Zhu Daidong was moved by himself and was overjoyed. However, when he went to the Muchuan Smelter to talk to Du Zhongde, he was told that the price of indium was now 4 million dollars per ton.

"Du Zhongdejun, is this your business attitude? Four million dollars, why don't you rob the bank? In front of Du Zhongde, Saito Junichi did not follow the rules like in front of Zhu Daidong. After hearing the price, he almost jumped up and pointed to Du Zhongde and said.

"Mr. Saito, this is the guide price given by the municipal government, and it's you who came. If you change it to someone else, I'm afraid the price can't be taken away." Du Zhongde smiled and said that he had just received a phone call from Zhu Daidong in person. On the phone, Zhu Daidong told him to give Saito Chun a "special" preferential price. At that time, Du Zhongde's heart was moved. It seemed that Zhu Daidong was also not worthy of his name.

At that time, Du Zhongde gently asked, how much should it cost per ton for Saito? Zhu Daidong hesitated over there and gently spit out a sentence: Then four million dollars a ton. Hearing this, Du Zhongde's microphone was almost not firmly held. He was ashamed of his own idea just now. Du Zhongde asked gently, will the price be too high?

Zhu Daidong solemnly told Du Zhongde that the price is definitely not high. If Saito Junichi can't accept this price this time, the next time he comes back, it will be 100,000 US dollars per ton again. Hearing Zhu Daidong's tough tone, Du Zhongde thought, is Mayor Zhu too good at doing business, or he doesn't want to do this business at all?

"Joke, I just came from Mayor Zhu, and he promised to give me the best price." Junichi Saito said.

"This is the best price. If you come next time, I'm afraid the price will rise again." Du Zhongde said lightly that with Zhu Daidong's support, he had never felt so happy to negotiate with foreign businessmen.

Perhaps such a scene will only occur in those state-owned enterprises before the reform and opening up. "Factory Director Du, do you know that now South Korea has found an indium mine. In the international market, the price of indium will plummet immediately. At this time, you don't take the opportunity to empty the inventory and want to sell it at It's impossible to go. Junichi Saito said.

"I don't know if there is indium ore in South Korea, but the price in the international market doesn't seem to have fallen, right?" Du Zhongde said lightly that since Kikawa Smelter announced to reduce the supply of indium and significantly increase the price, the price of indium in the international market seems to be getting higher and higher.

"It will fall soon. At that time, your indium, not to mention 4 million dollars, even 400,000 US dollars, 140,000 US dollars, will be unattended." Saito Junyi sneered. In fact, he has already said hello to China and took out 100 tons of indium from the national reserve base to suppress the international price. The more Kikawa hopes that the price of indium will rise, the price of indium in the international market will become cheaper and cheaper.

"This is not what Mr. Saito needs to care about." Du Zhongde said lightly.

Of course, it is impossible for Junichi Saito to accept such a price. If he signs this contract with Kikawa Smelter today and returns to [day], the contract will not be fulfilled, but even he himself will be ordered to resign.

For the behavior of the local government in China, Saito Junichi actually has a way. For example, he is going to buy two tons of indium this time. According to the original price, it is 200,000 US dollars per ton, and two tons is less than 400,000 US dollars. If he takes out 9.6 million US dollars, he will publicize the officials of [China] and let them use administrative means to lower the price of the Muchuan smelter to the original 200,000 US dollars per ton.

Although he is also eight million dollars, after returning to [day], he will be regarded as a hero and won a heavy prize. In China, having a good relationship with the government and officials is the biggest source of profit for doing business.

The relevant departments expressed their support for Saito Junichi's plan, but they have not agreed to take out 100 tons of indium from the national reserve base to suppress the current international price of indium. One hundred tons of indium is almost half of the [day] indium reserves. If you throw this 100 tons of indium, but you can't suppress the price, won't you lift a stone and hit your own feet?

However, Junichi Saito believes that if the price of indium in the international market cannot fall sharply, the [China] government will not learn a lesson. As long as you communicate with large indium users such as South Korea and the United States in advance, even if there is a loss, it will not be too big.
